A Boxer is happiest when he’s with his family, especially children. He’s protective and patient with kids and makes an ideal family dog.
Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were both dog lovers. They received their first Boxer, Harvey, as a wedding gift, and he appeared in many of their publicity photos. They acquired two more Boxers, Baby and George, as well.
As a notable hunting dog, the Boxer became the subject of inspiration for artists in the 1700s and 1800s. According to the AKC’s official Boxer page, Flemish tapestries during these times often featured the ancestors of today’s Boxer hunting wild boar and stags.
